Sandra Gresham was one of those in need who found help at the center. She spent a year going to doctors for a constant earache and loss of balance until doctors at the Skull Base Surgery Center finally diagnosed her problem and treated it. Sandra had a rare, large, benign jugular tumor. She had surgery and radiation through the center and speaks very highly of her experience. Every Tuesday at p. The team usually includes a neurosurgeon and an ear, nose and throat surgeon as well as a radiation oncologist.
Where: Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital. There are only six of these devices in the entire Southeast and Brooks has the only one in Jacksonville. The Armeo is essentially a video game. Patients sit in front of a computer and hook their arms into a device that contains sensors. Betty Ann Holt has been using the Armeo for two months now after a stoke left her entire left side paralyzed last year.
She can walk again and use her arm, but her hand has been the last part of her body to come back. It makes my muscles sore, which is a good feeling.

Another type of simulation is team training, where, for example, an emergency room crew can practice what to do in a code red situation in an emergency room simulator — a room that looks exactly like an emergency room. Thiel likens this sort of practice to a football team.
This simulator gives medical teams the chance to see how they do before the real thing comes along. Like football, everything is videotaped so teams learn just how well or how poorly they performed. I'm just going through the motions right now. It's just, just like a roller coaster right now. It's just up and down.
He was killed in a gunfight on Tuesday in Baghdad. We're told he's the first casualty since the capture of Saddam Hussein and to make it all worse for Chris' family I was going to take two weeks vacation and pick him up in Jacksonville and he was going to come home for two weeks and then he was going to have to go back.
